While numerous objections have, been vurged, against the new primary law and questions Confusing to the various county clerk have been appealed to the attorney general for settlement, the limit waa reached . this morning when the report reached the elate hous that out Id Seward county a large number of people had an Idea the election waa merely for 'the purpose of voting for delegates to a state convention which will choose candidates. Martin Dlmery, secre tary,' to Governor Sheldon, who. has Just .returned from Seward, said many people Out there1, believe . the state . convention would bo held aa usual and that the, ntm Inatlona will be made In the old way. the primary merely taking the place of the county conventions. islilch formerly chose delegate to the state convention. To dls abuse their minds he has mailed out a dosen or so copies of the primary law. "It would be of great benefit to the peo ple." said Mr. , Dlmery, "If the newspapers woifld print .abstracts of the primary law and Instruct the peoplo Just how nomina tions are made. I waa surprised to know that) many people thought the law waa enacted merely for the selection of dele gates to a state convention. I think If the newspapers ' would v Impress It upon the voters that they are to vote directly for the candidates and that no state convention Is to be held, the people would take much more Interest In the coming election and would go to . the polls and vote. Where the Impression la general that the voter la selecting delegates to a state convention there Is bound to be a light vote in that -locality." ' Mr. Dlmery sold he had no Idea how such an Impression got abroad, but in his section Of the country it is general. v Prtioa Association Disclaimer. Inasmuch aa soma of the newspapers are placing a portion of the responsibility for Ihe Bancroft lynching on the Nebraska Prison association by reason of its con nection with convicts, members of that organisation have come to the front in Its defense. The ' prison association, as an association, nor any member of it aa a member of the association, has ever assisted In securing a parole or pardon for any prisoner. It is one of the rules of the association, that it Is not to inter fere la any Way with the trial of the prisoner or in any way endeavor to ' shorten or change his sentence. The sole object of the association is to assist convicts after' they have been discharged from the penitentiary. It has a commit tee of more, than forty members scat tered over the state, the duty of which Is to secure employment for these dls charred convicts. Committeemen are fur ther obligated to help the convict to lead a correct life arid to make his own way ,ln the world. The membership .f the prison association is not made up of hysterical women and hero worshipers, 'at of the substantial business men of the tat. Practically all of the business men of Lincoln belong to it, while there are rnore than fifty of Omaha's business men on Xhr membership roll. These Include f Judge! jo tb. district courts, bankers, "frotesaloaal sen and others. The associa tion has' an office In room 803, Kunke building, Lincoln, In charge of Dr. George W. .Martin, superintendent.

INDIAN COS VOCATION AT AN END Services Are Attended hy Twenty Five Hondred Natives. VALENTINE, Neb., Aug. 28. (Special.) The Christian Indian convocation of tho Niobrara deanery of the Episcopal church. In the diocese of South Dakota, which has been held on Antelope creek,, about thirty five miles north of Valentine, for the last five days, closed Tuesday evening after one of the most remarkable Indian meet ings ever held In the northwest. K After a celebration of the , holy . com munion and morning prayer at 9:30 a, m. Tuesday, the usual routine of business waa gone through, and at -sunset a beauti ful service was said, all kneeling upon the open prairie, and the memorable convoca tion closed with the blessing; of Bishop Hare. .,'.'."' One remarkable feature which' develops from this convocation is the strong feeling on the part of the Indians to have their own people elected to places of honor and responsibility. As an Illustration . of the strength of this spirit the Rev. Amos Roes, a native priest, waa elected - dean of tho convocation for this session. The election of other officers from1 native ,Clergy and laity are sure to follow. The next eon vocation will be held at some. mission In northern South Dakota In 190. The Indiana, fully 2.600, broke camp Wednesday morning and each tribe, after paying a loving farewell to Bishop Hare, set off for homo. Some of the Indians and whites drove In a wagon for five and six days, coming from the extreme parts of South Dakota to attend the convocation and receive Bishop Hare's blessing. Bishop Coadjutor Johnson . and many other clergymen and delegates arrived In ttlla' eUy' Tuesday from the L'cohvdCatfon grounds to take the train botna. They were accompanied by a largo number of Indiana, who came down to see them" off. One noticeable feature of the convocation was the quiet and orderly manner of the Indians during its session. '.. ' They are naturally of a noisy, wild disposition. They have a deep respect for the services and an unbounded love for Bishop Hare. The bishop came down from the Rosebud agency Wednesday mornln;.'j V " " . f The general offering Saturday Vas $49 and Sunday f5t This goes to, the. native clergy fund.

Neb., Aug. S.(8pectl. Charles Carpenter, a wholesale dealer of coal at York, has had- ' qutre a ''scrap -with the Northwestern and Missouri Pacific rail roads. It seems that a- car of coal from the south was shipped to York for Mr. Carpenter's patrons and that when the car came here there was additional charge other than freight, and as. Mr... Carpenter Is one of the best-posted men, on, railroad rates, he left the. car on the, track here, notifying the companies that it would not be accented until, these charges were de ducted from the freight. The railroad com panies notified Mr. Carpenter that he would have to pay demurrage for, sack, day's de lay In unloading the ear. Mr. Carpenter then look the matter up with the State Railroad commission, and -after making several trips he finally convinced the com panies that they had no right Mo make the extra charges, and the coal this week was delivered to his patrons without the extra charge and with no demurrage. A member of the York Commercial club. In comment ing on Mr. carpenter's fight with the rail roads, stated that the overcharge made on freight to York's business men and manu facturers. If carefully audited by a secre tary who la thoroughly conversant with the railroad rates , and . tariffs, that the business men and shippers of York 'could well afford to pay this man a good salary, aa he would -save every dollar of his salary In overcharges made by the railroads.

They will also enter a speed limit order ' similar to that which was In effect in Missouri. Members of the boafd recently spent several days Inspecting the road In Ne braska, each commissioner taking a differ ent portion, and In many Instances walking the ties to make a personal Inspection of the line. This was done on complaint of the track layers' organisation, whose , of ficers made a showing in the way of photo graphs and descriptions of the condition of the track. The members of the board ssy the track layers did not tell half of the real condition Of the road as they found It on their trip. Delay In oil Case.

Darlington Will Re'fand Overcharge. Owing 'to the error In making a rate sheet, as the roads claim, the overcharges collected on minimum rates from shippers will be paid back when a claim is made.

(Special.) For years the proposition to extract gold from the sands of the Platte river In. Ne braska has been regarded as a huge .chest nut, and the numerous people -who have occasionally caught the gleam of smoth ered riches In the sandbars 'of that stream have been treated to the "horse-laugh." Folks In this part of the country haven't been prone to waste much time In efforts to make the river yield up Its store, but Instead have contented themselves ."In plucking it from the agricultural, stock raising and many other resources of wealth in the Platte's fertile valley. But a local man has Interested himself In tho propo sition to garner a competency for old age and the time of wrinkles by coaxing gold from the river sand, for a few' days ago he found where time and the waves had slowly 'deposited or cached an unusual amount of what he regarded as the precious stuff. He has had more or less experience In mining and believes that the rich par ticles in this particular place are coarse enough to permit extraction from the dirt with a little trouble. An effort Is being; made to get smelting people to give a definite opinion of the possibilities in con nection with the scheme. T. A.
